Practice, practice and practice.================================Dr. Eng’s advice to lady applicants:“Skirt or pants is not important, just make sure clean and neat, clean neatshoes, pantyhose. Dark brown, Navy Blue and Black are all appropriate.

Lanjing is correct, do not take off your jacket during the interview. If itis too warm, usually the chair will say “you can take off your jacket” ifyou like. Or follow the lead of others. Sweating profusely is not goodeither, underarm deodorant is important if you are prone to sweating. Toooften my foreign medical graduates do not realize how important smellingclean, having clean hair, neat nails etc. is. Body odor is definitely aturn-off.”—————–From Dr. Eng:

Ladies can sit with knees crossed, or feet together and down. But atall times, knees together no matter what the position. Never sit likea man.

Everybody should sit up, straight, and if they are short, towards theedge of the seat to be able to keep their feet on the floor. Eyesdirectly at the interviewer, nod from time to time, appear engaged.No sweaty hands, no wimpy handshakes. Never just hand your hand tothe other limply. no gum.

arrive early, bring an extra set of paperwork in case anything ismissing from their package. smiling with teeth showing is nice.confident, not cocky. Hair neat. Shirt tucked in, no white socks.
